The load must be supported by enough
arms to prevent load deflection. Deflection
may cause damage to the load being
stored as well as the arms (figure A1). To
detect deflection, place the load over two
wooden blocks (to represent cantilever
arms) as shown in figure A2. If deflection
is not present it is acceptable to use a
two arm system as long as this does not
create an overload condition. If the load
shows deflection use three blocks as
shown in figure A3 or four blocks as in
figure A4.
IMPORTANT: The load should overhang
the end arms by one-half the distance from
upright centerline to upright centerline.
Failure to observe this measure may
cause an overload condition on the arms.

Adhering to these guidelines will
ensure that each arm supports an
equal amount of the load's weight.
After attaching the
arm to the upright, lift
up on the tip of the
arm to seat the arm
bracket against the
upright.
